Prove Yourself- Erica Gomez

 

Prove Yourself

Prove Yourself by Ben Severance introduces two characters, Derek Mundt who is a Phi Delta Theta and Evan Goddard who is a Phil Kappa Alpha. They are both fighting for the chance to win the Heavyweight Champion Belt.  Goddard has been in the ring before, but Mundt never has. He is the underdog of the story; he is new to the whole boxing thing. They both have trained really hard to become better than what they have been.

             

The Video shows clips of both men training for the boxing match as well as the match. It shows how they feel about the upcoming match and how confident they both are in winning the belt. It shows both sides to the story, it does not favor one person and so for people watching it, it does not give away who is going to win. Even though Mudnt is the underdog, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is going to win or that people will favor him the most because of that. They both have charming personalities.

           

 The video shows that these two strong characters are willing to train as hard as they can to win the belt. They both have something to prove to people. Its shows they both have the passion and the will to want to win the match. Goddard quotes Muhammad Ali and says, “The Ring is the loneliest place on earth because you get in the ring and it’s you and one other person who wants to hurt you. And you know that if you don’t go out there and hurt them, their gonna hurt you.”  The use of this quote in the video sums up what the feeling of the story as well as the match. It is about winning and not wanting to be the loser of the match. It also shows the sportsmanship that both characters have after the match is over.
